I am fucking in love with this idea from Regan Appleton. The Royal College of Art student has created this amazing 'loving and lasting solution for your mechanical bereavement'. Such a simple idea, but beautifully executed and and instantly desired by myself!

You can either get your own ride commemorated or purchase one of the stock bikes which include the classic Chopper, Drop, Pursuit, Cruiser and more. You can then select the mount style and color and write a fitting epitaph to remember your ride. Then you're free to hang up your bars wherever you desire, over your fireplace no doubt, and just you try and resist the urge to commemorate more of your old rides (if you're still lucky enough to have them).

Prices start from £100 + postage

    Last year, Takara made an amazing Transformer out of a pun, mashing up the big bad guy, Megatron, with Sega's 16-bit Mega Drive. And while it was nowhere near as punny, they followed it up with a Playstation-based Optimus Prime. But they stopped there.

    While I'm partial to the "hard-luck" Hanshin Tigers, these sneakers - a collaboration between the Hiroshima Toyo Carp and Vans - are super adorable.

    Last year, Back to the Future Day came and went without a public release of the Nike Mags. About a year later and we plebs are getting a chance to finally own simulacra of the most iconic movie shoes short of Dorothy's ruby slippers.
